I put it to you that the letter B is the best letter of the alphabet for music/bands.
Belle & Sebastian
Boards of Canada
Beta Band
Byrds
Beach Boys
British Sea Power
Bjork
Beck
Beirut
Blanche
Buck 65
Blondie
Beatles
Battles
Blur
Brakes
Biffy Clyro
Beans
Beastie Boys
to name but a few...
Yeah, this is quite pointless. But there is no better letter!
but...
bananarama, bob the builder, back street boys, boris (contraversial), beck
..
Looking at my iPod, and my alphabetical (the result of working in a Stalinist Virgin Megastore) CD collection, it would appear that S is certainly my most popular letter. Whether its the best, I'm unsure.
Mine is T for The.

(this is basically a 'list bands that you like that begin with b' thread, right?)
i nominate h, q, u, x and z as the worst letters.
^ what generally or as band letters?
as band letters
in the sense that i listen to very few or no bands beginning with them.
I wonder what letter...
is proportionally best? As is has the best good bands to number of bands ratio. I bet I's quite good... Interpol, Idlewild. And, er, I can't really think of any more.
